Andy Turner and Mat Green
The Alpaca, N1 8LU , [Venue Details]both play with Oxfordshire band Magpie Lane. A Bampton Morris dancer for 50 years, Mat has played for country dancing for very nearly as long, principally with the Woodpecker Band. His instantly recognisable fiddle style is utterly danceable, and quintessentially English.
Andy, a very fine singer and the first ever winner of the prestigious Sidmouth Singer competition, is also an experienced dance musician, playing anglo-concertina with bands such as Polkabilly, Geckoes and Oxford NAGS, and more recently as musician for Headington Quarry Morris Dancers. He has a punchy, rhythmic concertina style, but can also play in a slower, smoother style to accompany his own singing. Together, they play mainly traditional English dance tunes, specialising in little-known tunes from 18th- and 19th-century village musicians' tune books. The tunes are interspersed with songs – again, mostly from English traditional sources. Their first album as a duo, Time for a Stottycake, was released at the start of 2024.
